Sec. 302. Duration of copyright: Works created on or after
January 1, 1978
- (a) In General. - Copyright in a work created on or after
January 1, 1978, subsists from its creation and, except as
provided by the following subsections, endures for a term
consisting of the life of the author and 70 years after the
author's death.
- (b) Joint Works. - In the case of a joint work prepared by
two or more authors who did not work for hire, the copyright
endures for a term consisting of the life of the last surviving
author and 70 years after such last surviving author's death.
- (c) Anonymous Works, Pseudonymous Works, and Works Made for
Hire. - In the case of an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work,
or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95
years from the year of its first publication, or a term of 120
years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first.
If, before the end of such term, the identity of one or more of
the authors of an anonymous or pseudonymous work is revealed in
the records of a registration made for that work under
subsections (a) or (d) of section
408, or in the records provided by this subsection, the
copyright in the work endures for the term specified by
subsection (a) or (b), based on the life of the author or
authors whose identity has been revealed. Any person having an
interest in the copyright in an anonymous or pseudonymous work
may at any time record, in records to be maintained by the
Copyright Office for that purpose, a statement identifying one
or more authors of the work; the statement shall also identify
the person filing it, the nature of that person's interest, the
source of the information recorded, and the particular work
affected, and shall comply in form and content with requirements
that the Register of Copyrights shall prescribe by regulation.
- (d) Records Relating to Death of Authors. - Any person
having an interest in a copyright may at any time record in the
Copyright Office a statement of the date of death of the author
of the copyrighted work, or a statement that the author is still
living on a particular date. The statement shall identify the
person filing it, the nature of that person's interest, and the
source of the information recorded, and shall comply in form and
content with requirements that the Register of Copyrights shall
prescribe by regulation. The Register shall maintain current
records of information relating to the death of authors of
copyrighted works, based on such recorded statements and, to the
extent the Register considers practicable, on data contained in
any of the records of the Copyright Office or in other reference
sources.
- (e) Presumption as to Author's Death. - After a period of 95
years from the year of first publication of a work, or a period
of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires
first, any person who obtains from the Copyright Office a
certified report that the records provided by subsection (d)
disclose nothing to indicate that the author of the work is
living, or died less than 70 years before, is entitled to the
benefits of a presumption that the author has been dead for at
least 70 years. Reliance in good faith upon this presumption
shall be a complete defense to any action for infringement under
this title.
